Damned if I know. It's possibly the stupidest decision I've ever seen in a big name game. But yeah sometimes you'll be walking around and just all of a sudden get obliterated out of nowhere and it was because you got mapped by an NPC rocket with damage tied to frame rate. There's YouTube videos of people proving it works this way iirc; I know people used to post testing videos on R.
